According to the decrees, campaigning for the regional elections will run from November 9 at 11:59 p.m. until November 26 at 11:59 p.m. The elections are scheduled for Sunday, November 29, across the country.
For the senatorial elections, campaigning will begin on November 20 at 11:59 p.m. and conclude on December 17 at the same time, ahead of the December 20 vote.
The decrees state that both campaigns must be conducted in accordance with Guinea's Electoral Code. Several government departments, including those responsible for territorial administration, justice, security, defence and finance, have been assigned responsibilities for implementing the electoral arrangements.
The elections form part of Guinea's continuing political transition following the September 2021 military coup that brought Doumbouya to power. The country subsequently adopted a new constitution in 2025, which opened the way for members of the former military authorities to contest elections.
Doumbouya won the December 28, 2025 presidential election with 86.72 percent of the vote, according to official results, formally ending the transitional period. However, the country's political transition has continued to attract scrutiny over the conditions under which the electoral process was conducted and the extent of political competition.
The regional and senatorial elections represent another stage in the establishment of the country's post-transition institutions. Their conduct, participation and credibility will be important indicators of Guinea's progress toward a more inclusive constitutional order.
